Craftsmen You Can Trust
A Manchester family business built on honest advice, careful craftsmanship, and media walls that are designed to last.
Built on a simple frustration
Media Walls North was founded by James Harrington in 2019, a trained joiner who had spent years fitting out homes across Manchester and hearing the same frustration from homeowners: they had been quoted a high price for a media wall that turned out to be a flat-pack unit screwed to the wall, cables and all left in plain sight.
James started with a simple idea: build media walls the way good fitted furniture is built, properly measured, properly designed, and finished so well that nobody could tell where the original wall ended and the new structure began. That standard has not changed in the 12 years since, as the business has grown to cover Manchester and the wider North West.
Every project is still personally reviewed before it goes ahead, and we would rather turn down a job that is not right for a customer’s home than build something we would not be proud to put our name to.
Our Values
Honest advice, every time
We tell you what your room actually needs, not what is easiest to sell. If a media wall is not the right fit, we will say so.
Joinery-standard finish
Every media wall is built with the same care and attention as fitted furniture, not a quick stud-and-board job.
Fully qualified, fully insured
Every electrician and joiner on our team is qualified and certified, backed by full public liability insurance.
Designed around your home
No fixed templates. Every design starts with a home visit and is built around your room, not a catalogue photo.
